Practical subjects include metalwork, building, agriculture, fashion and woodwork. Speaking on Sunday, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Cain Mathema said proceeds of these commercial ventures will be used to fund programmes at schools and relieve parents of the burden of paying fees. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
